Happy Holidays! In this special episode, we enjoyed David Allen as our guest. David gave us an update on the growth of GTD as well as answered lots of questions. The Study Group is off for the holidays and will be back in January with more discussions. We'll be talking about David's new book, how to stay on track with our New Year's aspirations, and lots more. I hope you'll join us.

Keeping all your projects going at once is a lot like plate spinning. To maintain any sort of momentum, there’s got to be some energy inputs by you or someone else. If you stop paying attention, the project wobbles and eventually grinds to a halt. In this episode, you’re sure to find something that will help you keep your own plates spinning smoothly with nary a wobble in sight.
